Wonders of the World

As the stars they do shine,
and the grass it does grow,
Yet you cant quite make sense,
of the signs that they show.
When your in a direction,
of only one way.
Words of a million,
yet nothing to say.
We can try to be faithful,in one sense or more,
but can never excuse what has been done before.
Let the water be wine,and the bread be bread.
We can change what is written,
but not what is said.
